2. In a jack for supporting lasted shoes, 2. hollow base member, a convexed face at the upper end of said base, a head member having a recess in the upper face thereof and open at one end to receive the neck end of a shoe last, said head having its lower face concaved to conform to the convexed face of the base member and mounted thereon, a post depending from the head member directed through a suitable opening in the upper end of the base member, a stop member carried by the post and suitable resilient means encircling the post between the upper end of the base member and the stop on said post.

3. In a jack for supporting lasted shoes, 3. base member having a suitable longitudinally curved upper face merging with a relatively narrow transversely curved face, a head member having a correspondingly curved lower face mounted on the upper face of the base member for arcuate sliding movement thereon and longitudinally and transversely thereof, said head member having a recess open at one end and having a plane base surface, and means frictionally connecting the two members.

4. In a work support, a base member having a vertically disposed tapered opening, a last bed plate swivelly mounted on the base member and having a plane last engaging surface bounded except for one end thereof with a flange, a pin depending from the last bed plate, a thrust plate on the pin and a coiled spring encircling the pin between the base member and the thrust plate.
